Yes, I understand your point of view. I also judge the GNOME page
useless when I start to use it. I don't know where you can discuss about
this, but I think that this is a good thing to ask for modifications.

In "What is GNOME?" click in "find help and *support*" or click in the
*Support* link in the top of the page. The page "GNOME Support" will
appear, in this that is a sub-item called "Documenation" with the link
*complete documentation*, this is the page above.
